So they're trying to make sure GOP friendly judges aren't appointed who would be antagonistic to they're causes - gay marriage, abortion, gun control etc.

I don't see it this way at all. Not at all. One of the most important principles of our form of government is that the majority is not permitted to ride roughshod over the minority. Your party is changing this, at its peril. Your president is the most ineffective in decades, but the one bit of damage he potentially can do is to the judiciary, and he's shoving his fundamentalist agenda down the throat of the entire nation. Contrary to majority preference. You should be alarmed. He's trashing your party, as he trashes my nation.
And even if he's successful, this nation simply does not want this kind of control over individual choices. So, whatever damage he does will need to be repaired, and my party is going to be the White Nights, the liberators, soon.
